There are no more undefeated teams in the NBA. The Atlanta Hawks made sure of that on Monday night as they handed Giannis Anteotkounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks just their first defeat of the season in a 117-98 blowout.

Trae Young wasn't even able to take the court in this one due to a right shin injury, but the Hawks still fared very well without their superstar point guard. Young was watching the game closely, though, and he immediately took to Twitter after the massive win:

Young was all hyped with the performance of rookie AJ Griffin who had a coming-out party against the Bucks. The No. 16 overall pick dropped a career-high 24 points all over Giannis and Co. on 10-of-15 shooting, to go along with four rebounds, an assists, three steals, and two triples.

Trae also heaped praise on Onyeka Okungwu, who himself finished with 12 points and six rebounds off the Hawks bench.

It was Atlanta's new star Dejounte Murray, however, who led the Hawks in this one with 25 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists, and three steals, while also connecting on three triples.

The Bucks have now lost their first game after a mind-blowing 9-0 start to the season. I'm pretty sure Trae Young and the Hawks love the fact that it was their team who drew first blood against the 2021 champs.

Hopefully for the Hawks, Young recovers in time for their back-to-back set scheduled on Wednesday and Thursday against the red-hot Utah Jazz and the struggling Philadelphia 76ers, respectively.
